Biography
Anarawd ap Rhodri was born in 850, the son of Rhodri the Great. Upon his father's death, he inherited the royal estate at Aberffraw and the throne of Gwynedd. His brothers Cadell ap Rhodri and Merfyn ap Rhodri received large estates as well, and the three brothers cooperated in warring with the petty kingdoms of Wales. However, Cadell soon went to war with Merfyn and created the realm that would later empower Hywel Dda. In 902, he repelled a Viking invasion of Anglesey, and he died in 916.
